NHTSA Complaint #10508623 — 2007 PORSCHE 911 TURBO

I APPROACHED MY PORSCHE 911 TURBO IN MY GARAGE AND NOTICED A SLIGHT BIT OF LIQUID WITH A PINK HUE (COOLANT) THAT HAD APPEARED TO HAVE LEAKED FROM UNDER MY CAR. I LOOKED AT THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WHICH WAS ~1.5-2 INCHES BELOW THE MAX FILL LINE. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO NEW GERMAN PERFORMANCE TO GET CHECKED OUT. I CALLED AND CONFIRMED THEY HAD AN AVAILABILITY. I TURNED ON MY CAR AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER A WARNING POPPED UP STATING "CHECK COOLANT". THE DRIVE WAS ROUGHLY 20 MILES. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE NEVER WENT ABOVE 175 DEGREES (NORMAL OPERATING TEMP) AND THE OIL NEVER WENT ABOVE THE 190S (AGAIN, TOTALLY NORMAL). I PARKED AND WENT INSIDE, HANDED OVER THE KEYS, AND 5 MINUTES LATER THE CAR HAD PUKED COOLANT OUT THE BACK. NGP RE-PINNED THE HOSE TO THE RADIATOR AND TOPPED OFF THE TANK. 2 MONTHS LATER (13APR2013) I WENT TO MY GARAGE AND AGAIN NOTICED A SMALL AMOUNT OF COOLANT ON THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED NGP, CONFIRMED AVAILABILITY, AND TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THE COOLANT HOSES WERE EPOXIED IN AND HAD BLOWN OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE AND THE HOSES MUST BE EITHER RE-EPOXIED, PINNED IN, OR WELDED (THE SAFEST OPTION). *TR
